Thought it’s time for a healer-like outfit

Incredible outfit, fantastic colour scheme, and astounding shot.

Perfect!

Hi everyone

Does anyone have any tips on how to use Celestial Avatar well? When should I use it? I just don’t seem to ‘feel’ it.

Is it something that you would only use very occasionally? Otherwise it seems quite arbitrary. I’m looking for constructive hints and advice on when to use Celestial Avatar, thanks

I’m actually kinda sad the flamethrower backpack is going…

With the upcoming trait changes, will spirits no longer move?

I can’t find confirmation one way or another. Or do you think that will be part of the druid line?

My Sylvari guardian, Aulcaden:

I had a different issue. My journal looked like this and I didn’t get mail:

Restarting GW2 fixed it

In another forum someone pointed me towards this: http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/

You simply look up your guild, and can download the emblem at any res you like!

Hi there

I want to get a high res image of my Guild Emblem. Taking screenshots from ingame sources results in a small image. Do you know how I can achieve this?

Thanks

We know this about Saul:

“After defeating the Charr, the Unseen Ones turned on those who had moments earlier worshiped them as their gods and murdered them then disappeared. They took Saul, in whom they had imbued their most powerful magic, with them. Only a handful survived. Those who remained, who had been deemed most devoted, told the Krytans that Saul was killed by Charr during their retreat back over the Shiverpeak Mountains.

Saul has not been seen since. " (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Saul_D%27Alessio)

So where is he? And where are the Mursaat?

Read it onthe train last night. I’ve got a character obsessed with the White Mantle. My belief is that Caudecus IS DEFINITELY White Mantle, and the bandits are funded and supported by the White Mantle to weaken, undermine, harass and just generally distract the throne.

Caudecus’s Mansion backs onto a rocky hilly range. In the Harathi Hinterlands you can access a system of caves which backs onto the mansion, called kittenattler Caverns (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/8/84/Harathi_Hinterlands_map.jpg) Those caves are RIFE with bandit activity and it contains a bandit lair. Then go a little further north, and you have the Ruins of Holy Demetra. And what’s contained in those ruins? The empty tomb of Saul D’Alessio, founder of the White Mantle. All backing onto Caudecus’ mansion.

Hmmm.

We also have a known White Mantle hideout in the hunting lodge in the Queen’s Forest, near Beetletun. The White Mantle ARE active, and have infiltrated the ministry via Caudecus. Could Caudecus be the offspring of Saul D’Alessio? Or … somehow has Saul achieved immortality (his tomb is empty) and IS minister Caudecus?

Will the Wintersday-themed town clothes be making an appearance? I’ve been waiting all year since I missed out last year.

Also, I’ve been hoping for more town clothes, not fewer town clothes. I’ve just been waiting for the right ones for my character…

Yeap it’s like that on mine too…

Kaellok.8143:

Let’s see some of your sweet screenshots. This is my favorite one so far.

Where is that taken from?

Hi there

Do you have much representation from Oceania, or have many people active around 7pm – 11pm NZDT (which works out to be about 2am to 6am EST)?

A picture of us in the Super Adventure Box the other night:

I like it. It’s like lush living foliage… which it is!

What times do you play? If you’re on evenings Oceanic / Australasian timezones, and want to be part of a REALLY small (but hopefully soon growing) guild, then check out http://seekersofmaguuma.enjin.com

Any other Australasian players here"

We are a brand new Australasian guild on Tarnished Coast. Looking to grow slowly to retain the tight knit friendly atmosphere: http://seekersofmaguuma.enjin.com

RakeosFTSC.3829:

Hey guys as the title suggests I’m looking for a guild with friendly aussies. Im an experienced player. Let me know thanks

Which world is your home world?

Just a quick note, since this is a brand new guild, this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and influence the guild’s direction.

Beautiful! The talent in this community astounds me sometimes. Thank you!

Quick Notes: Seekers of Maguuma is a brand new guild consisting of two IRL friends; this is a chance to join a guild at the beginning of its life. We are a casual, friendly and mature guild and we are looking for like-minded people who play in the evenings New Zealand and Australian times on Tarnished Coast.

Guild Principles:
An important principle of the guild is that it’s a zero obligation guild. Play it your way, at your own pace, on your own time. You will never be under any obligation to do anything for the guild. We are a group of friends on an epic adventure in Tyria together.

A second important principle of the guild is that we are community focused. As members of the GW2 community, we influence the enjoyment of the game of others around us, ingame and on forums. Our behaviour should respect that we have that influence on others.

Yeah I miss it too. It was epic waiting for the release with that thing

Is there any way you can make your guild’s competition public? That is, allow us to see your guild’s entries and allow us to submit our own?

Have you been into the area behind that cliff? You get there by going into the Hylek village and throwing a boulder at the gong. In there are more of those faces. Mysterious stuff.

I agree with loneknight. I like the slow burn it’s taking on. I don’t feel rushed, and I feel like it’s something slowly revealing itself over time. It allows people to discover it at their own pace as part of their normal travels in Tyria, not something they have to quickly rush out and “do”. So well done, I really like it. it gives us time to really wonder what is happening up north

Indeed, the bar has been set.

I don’t know if it’s related, but I also occasionally get strange results when taking screenshots. See for example. I’d estimate maybe 1 in 15 result in an anomaly like this.

Does anyone else experience this? Does anyone else using the latest ATI beta drivers NOT experience this? I wonder if it’s the driver…

See here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Freezes-on-second-screenshot-taken/first#post1427006

+1 to having the guild ones in here too. Be great to see all entries. Gonna make a submission to this one soon

I’m getting a bug using the screenshotting function.

Every second time I take a screenshot, the graphics freeze up, displaying the same two frames over and over again. The sound continues and the only way to unfreeze it is to alt-tab out and alt-tab back in again. Every other time, when I press screenshot, it will take two identical screenshots instead of one.

Summary:
Every 1,3,5,7th etc time taking screenshot, will take 2 instead of one
Every 2,4,6,8 etc time taking screenshot, graphics will freeze requiring alttab out and back in again.

dxdiag.txt attached. Any other info I’m happy to provide.

Here’s my colour scheme: Blue Rose skin, sunset pattern, and I can’t remember the name of the glow, but you can see it here

I have the exact same error. I’m runnign Windows 7. My graphics card is a Radeon 5850 with latest ATI beta drivers.

Thriceblinded, you don’t need to shut down, if you alttab out, then alttab back in, it fixes the problem (which is that two frames seem to loop and continually render)

Genophix.3098:

Wow that looks amazing! This is on of the reasons I enjoy doing this kind of thing, there are just so many places and things you can miss. Moo cube do you mind if I make a suggestion? I think that would be so much better it you frame it better. What I mean is more of the subject in the shot and less of the wall to the right. Could be a winner with that!

Keep em coming guys!

Yeah I went through my existing screenshots of 1500 images, but yeah, I think it might be worth going back and reshooting it. I find it hard to frame the shots sometimes with how it keeps your character centred… might play with the character offset…

I also like this combo, dramatic.

Here is mine. Third set with mix of Soldier’s and Berserker’s gear with 2x Rune of the Water, 2x Rune of the Monk and 2x +20% might duration rune.

I LOVE that action shot. The facial expression, the lightning, the backdrop… love it

oh and here’s my submission on the theme of “Energy”

I think it’s a great idea. I’d suggest a new thread each week where people can submit a shot. And you can only submit one shot. Once submitted, you can’t change it. Put some rules up about not allowing editing, and after each week, create a new poll thread where people can vote for the winner. I’d totally be in for that! How do people arrange payment?

Oh that’s a pity. I envisioned having these spirits with me everywhere, like how necromancers have their minions.

If I’m traited all the way to allowing spirits to move and follow me, will they stay alive until killed? Or will I need to keep re-summoning them every 1.5 minutes?

Thanks

The reason a crafted item is cheaper than the raw material to make is because the crafter takes something from the raw material that can’t be sold. And that’s the XP from crafting the item. So the crafter takes something, extracts the XP, then sells the crafted item. Because the market values XP higher than the crafted item, the crafted item is cheaper than the raw material

My proposed Spirit Ranger:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMMQJARTjEVl1VVeVs2BilCB1nni0TL3jSZqTVwnD

Thoughts?

I’ve decided that I’m going to be a spiritual Ranger anyway. The spirit road may not be the easiest road, but it’s the road I want to walk. Walk with me.

I’m in the exact same situation. I love the idea of a Nature Sprit Ranger, kinda druidy, but people keep saying that spirit skills are useless. They can’t be that bad surely, if you trait all the way with them? Not to the point of making the game unplayable, anyway. Right?

I just love the idea of these nature spirits following me around everywhere I go. I, too, love the great sword animations, but have decided to stick with short and longbows, since I can craft them both, and benefit from some of the traits like piercing arrows applying to both weapons. Anyway, I’m level 20 at the moment, and would love to be a spirit ranger. So heck, why not, huh?
